He kicked off his co-commentating career last Saturday by covering the Millwall v Leicester City FA Cup clash on TalkSport.

A source said: “Jamie has a great personality and producers know that he will be a ratings winner.

“At the moment his football career is on the back burner so he’s very much focused on securing a new gig covering sport on telly.

Jamie, who is struggling to find a club after being released by Gillingham last September, increased his profile in the CBB house with the help of his romance with Bianca Gascoigne – which ended days after the series ended.

Jamie appeared in Celebrity Big Brother this year where he struck up a romance with Bianca Gascoigne

Since leaving the show he’s secured a modelling deal with menswear label Reem, while continuing to up his presence on the celebrity party circuit.

He told The Sun Bizarre’s column of his post-CBB plans at the Philip Christopher Baldwin LGBT dinner this week, in which he admitted the reality series was well worth entering – despite concerns it would
hinder his chances of resuming his football career.

Jamie said: “It was fun. It was a hard, long and emotional experience but I would definitely do it again.

“There have been other opportunities, there has been quite a lot of interest.

“I would say that there’s some good TV shows that I would definitely consider doing which are interesting. If I’m not doing football then it’s definitely something I would do.”
